The best restaurants in Glaven Valley North Norfolk East of England

Great lil cage in a beautiful setting.

Blakeney is a village to stop and enjoy Lots of quaint hoses bordering narrow streets bordering a small harbour . A fine example of peace and solitude surrounded by the good things in life

Really great coffee - best we tried in Blakeney. They have some lovely pastries - I particularly enjoyed their almond croissant.

You'll find By The Quayside on Blakeney Quay (on the right hand side of the car park as you go in). This is a must visit. You can eat outside at the tables or get your food to take away. Whilst we were staying at Blakeney, we enjoyed a variety of their delicious food. Sandwiches - Tuna; smoked salmon and dill and horseradish dressing; fresh crab - all served on really fresh bread and generously filled. We also tried the salt and pepper squid, which came with a dip; their own fish finger sandwich (lovely toasted ciabatta roll with just the right amount of dressing; dressed crab; and half a lobster tail. Everything, including the dressed crab and lobster, are made to order. No pre-packaged food here, all served up with a smile and a chat. So, so friendly. One day we were late home and they were packing up, but it wasn't any trouble for them to make up our order. I can't stress how generous the portions were - but even more important was the price. For the quality and freshness, other fish stalls/huts were almost twice the price. Which was the reason we kept returning and urge you to go too. My husband actually heard the owner speaking to another local business person, who was suggesting she should put her prices up (Blakeney is an expensive place); but she was firm in her belief that she wanted it to be affordable for the many visitors that came to the town and was happy with what she was charging. To the lovely ladies that run the stall, thank you so much for being so friendly and accommodating, we're just sorry that we didn't get your names so we could credit you. We wish you continued success.

Lovely coffee at very reasonable prices. Nice ambiance.

Very special place. The place is amazing.. very clean and has a great atmosphere. As soon as you step through the door you’re treated extremely well. The staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food is outstanding. Definitely worth a visit for a special occasion.

We visited whilst on holiday in the area. We were greeted by very friendly staff. Although the restaurant was busy, being a Saturday evening, we were not rushed and enjoyed a leisurely meal. My friend is coeliac and the menu offered her lots of choice. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Great products, friendly staff - been using whenever we’re in the area over the last 15 years. Very sorry to see it closing down 👎

My porridge turned up cold, so I sent it back. It came back and it came back cold a second time. I asked for sourdough toast with my breakfast, but was told “it only comes with certain meals”. They said they could give me sourdough bread, but they didn’t bother giving me that either. The other plates of breakfast were not hot either. Overdone poached eggs. Some of the staff were not unduly friendly, or helpful.

We ate some very tasty breakfast baps and drank some great coffee. Lovely to sit outside and look across the creek. Very friendly and welcoming.

Sunday Roast had very good reviews and we certainly were not disappointed. There was a choice of three meats, a vegetarian and a fish dish. Beautifully presented the vegetables were freshly cooked and seasonable. So glad not to have red cabbage! Really good quality produce and very well prepared. The management and other staff are friendly and enthusiastic. Very tasteful deco and a nice setting. (Google maps tend to direct cars to the gated entrance but there’s an easier entrance on the other side of the property.). We will definitely return.

Booked this place as looked always busy when you walk by. Everything excellent one of the best meals I had in long time. Wish I lived close by.

Just had a delicious Brunch here . Busy filled with people of all ages and their dogs enjoying spending time in this Special place. Find it hard to believe that it will be closing? Hopefully somebody or a group will take it over next year .

Excellent coffee and friendly service in a beautiful old barn. We both ate the hot Christmas sandwich and were underwhelmed by a very small thin piece of dry turkey, some OK stuffing and a rather anaemic sausage with bacon. The ciabatta roll was nice….. All for an expensive £12.95. We use to go the Back to Garden a lot before covid struck and it has struggled since then. It is now an out reach of Jarrolds of Norwich. Apparently they have great plans but they need to improve their offering to persuade us to return again.

Quality : Low. Price : High. Pie of the day "Chicken and Leek" turned out to be Steak and Kidney which was indistinguishable as it had been reheated more than once. The mussels were OK ! Offered (one) free coffee as a 'sorry'. Will not be back.
